Cheers! And back at ya. Easy transactions, fast and responsive. Chaka is the real deal.

There is something about sight unseen mag trades that make me happy. I don’t really think twice about it...

After going to dual 34” 4k curved monitors at work, my 27” 4k monitors at home feel positively plebeian.

Buy up to 4k. Get two of them. Don’t go less than 27”. I’d get 4k before I’d get curved,...

How so?

Right. Except they don’t have the risk tolerance of a gambler who puts it all on black, so they create endless white papers and twitter threads to support why it isn’t gambling. It’s more pyramid...

Probably not for a reasonable price. I’d like to snag one more pair, though, if you stumble across a stash.

Here’s a bump!

What? Why?! What do you suppose this means? This from the guy who talks about doing research on twitter?

No. This is how stupid never dies. I would rather people who are educated and thoughtful...

But those aren’t actually antonyms at all. Amazing!

I suppose.

“Security” keeps getting bandied about like counterfeit currency is the greatest crisis facing global digital monetary systems.

It isn’t.

And “security” in this context doesn’t fucking mean...

Right? There are ways to make it better but then what about your ‘rari?

Is “mining” anything other than a gimmick, really? What purpose does it serve?

But he tells them “Just a little!”

Today is trash day, and every week the guy who does the recycle bin sets it back upright with the lid closed, so it doesn’t fill up with rain or snow or muck in the couple hours before I get home...

I’d really hate to validate all the dumb idiots with the “smoke a pack a day” T shirts, though.

Which is why you can’t but cono can.

Cono - Go fuck off in Europe for a year, for all of us.

My car (Audi) has a “passive” system. Basically senses if the tire gets mushy. Less precise, but no sensors. Am a fan. Had the president of a GM dealership tell me that (on my last car) if I didn’t...

Any mental gymnastics are to try to figure out where Bitcoin bros are coming from and to sort out any truth from the heaps of disingenuous bullshit constantly being bandied about. I forget how many...

Well, and then you have to face up to rampant BTC inflation. And that fucks up ALL kinds of narratives.

That’s amazing.

?

There was noise about him coming back for game 6, but now skepticism around game 7.

What does this mean? BTC being less valuable today than a week ago is irrelevant because you have purchased more BTC? Tell me what I’m not understanding.

Supported by what? What does that mean? Just psychologically, that seems to be where the appetite to begin purchasing again is? Or is there more to that statement?

I bought at $40K. Small sum, you wouldn’t call it a position or an investment, really. In any event, hasn’t worked out terrifically well yet. I was hoping “lambos” and at this point it’s looking more...

But, like, you don’t really mean that. Because you count on broad adoption to drive price and gains since that is the only way those things can be achieved.

That’s what makes the whole space so...

I mean, maybe…. I imagine if they were facing elimination they’d have played more minutes, but at some point the Grizzlies were playing too well to be on the losing end of the greatest comeback in...

Right. The problem it’s solving is not the primary problem facing traditional payment channels. “DID I send you $100K?” instead of “Are you really you and will you do what you say?” and “How do we...

Crypto doesn’t solve any of that, except that it has been ducking regulatory burdens. Traditional payments can occur within milliseconds. Real-time payments are a thing. There are tons of lines...

Ah, OK. That makes more sense.

Cash vs. cashless and the horse and buggy analogy may well be apt, to be fair. A lot of brick and mortar exists just because that’s what people are used to, and that alone will sustain brick and...

I don’t quite understand the comparison being made here. Is it just that established things fail? Is it a different comparison than the one already made to stocks that can fail?

Not arguing, just...

I was sooo tempted to pull the rug out because she wouldn’t shut the fuck up. Wouldn’t acknowledge that I was giving her way more than I had to, simply because she was the mother of my children. She...

I dunno. He sold it, sure, but have you ever tried to jump when somebody is stepping on your shoe with their hands on your back? Probably wouldn’t look a lot different than Curry. Less graceful,...

Indeed, we will. I’m not placing bets and a significant investment in BTC is well beyond my risk tolerance. I’m not rooting for failure, I just can’t fathom how it doesn’t.

Depends on when you got in, I guess? Anybody have numbers there? How many people (accounting for things like Mt Gox) would come out ahead in that scenario?

Also, Do Your Own Research is a tool for building the pyramid. Rely on experts? Fuck. No. That won’t sell BTC. Do your own research. Here is a bunch of propaganda to get you started.

If be...

But the Grizzlies claim that Poole did it.

So Morant is probably out for the playoffs with a bone bruise.

A bone bruise caused by Poole. I don’t understand how that’s possible. And I’m not saying it isn’t. I just don’t understand. Some...

Madoff Investment Securities outperformed the market too.

Until it didn’t.

The difference between a failed stock and a failed cryptocurrency is that the stock promised to generate long term...

She’s not drinking oil anymore and really has been a new car after we rebuilt her transmission. She just needs some money for a fan clutch replacement. She doesn’t mean to get too hot. It’s not her...

So “a ton of math” is just “line go up?”

Are we really just doing a bunch of math around trends? There isn’t any fundamental analysis that supports anything other than a negative-sum game?

How do you figure? Do my own research? Yeah, I did. The only input to BTC is people buying BTC. It is inherently, structurally, negative-sum. It doesn’t do anything else that’s valuable. “A ton of...

Oh damn. What did you do to piss off byates?

And get a signed bill of sale when you sell a car.

Might you expect the true MVP’s team to not do well in the playoffs? When you can focus a series of games on mitigating a single individual, a good team can be very effective.

A. Your HELOC rate is likely set to prime with a floor of 4.50% or a margin of prime plus .50%? In either case, prime is typically fed funds plus 3%, and fed funds is gonna go up, but should level...

Nice!

I had a nice collection of Lego’s from when I was a kid and that I inherited from my older brother. I also had a hot wheels collection from my dad, stepdad, older brother, and from when I...

What about fraud protections? Do we get those in this panacea?

Hah. My dog will chase down and eat wasps. He gets stung and it just makes him more mad at the next one. Dumb dog doesn’t know how to back down. Not his best trait.

I said I didn’t regret the money stuff, but the spousal support is dragging on about a year too long. My attorney said it should be about 2 years, but I offered a little over 5 because that was...
